✦Grammar Breakdown

Sim
A simple affirmative particle meaning “yes”. It can be used alone or before a full sentence.
está confirmado
The verb estar + past participle forms a state‑of‑being construction (similar to English “is confirmed”). Use estar, not ser, because the confirmation is a temporary condition.
para + time
The preposition para introduces the scheduled time. It is the most common way to say “for” when talking about appointments.
as 2 da tarde
When telling the hour in Portuguese you use the definite article (as) for plural hours and the contraction da (de + a) before the part of the day. The accent on às is mandatory.

Is the meeting scheduled for 2 p.m.?
Sim, está confirmado para as 2 da tarde.
Yes, it is confirmed for 2 p.m.
✕Common Mistakes
Sim, é confirmado para as 2 da tarde.
Use estar, not ser, because the confirmation is a temporary state, not an inherent characteristic.
Sim, está confirmado para as 2 da manhã.
“da manhã” means “in the morning”. For an afternoon appointment you must say “da tarde”.
Sim, está confirmado para as 2 da tarde.
The preposition “às” (a + as) requires an accent; without it the phrase is grammatically incorrect.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil the 12‑hour clock with “da manhã”, “da tarde” and “da noite” is the everyday way to tell time, while the 24‑hour format is common in timetables and formal writing. Remember the accent on “às” (a + as) – without it the meaning changes to “as” (plural article). Also, using a confident “Sim” followed by a passive construction sounds professional and polite in business settings.
